Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable

Quadratic equation $\"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\"$ (in our case $\"1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-110+=+0\"$ ) has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant $\"b%5E2-4ac\"$ should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant $\"b%5E2-4ac\"$ : $\"b%5E2-4ac=%28-1%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-110=441\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=441 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: $\"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28--1%2B-sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29%2Bsqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+11\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29-sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression $\"1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-110\"$ can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-110+=+1%28x-11%29%2A%28x--10%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 11, -10.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B-1%2Ax%2B-110+%29\"$
